Heroes 1x14: Distractions

[labellementeuse]

HAHAHAHAHA. *wipes tears from eyes* Oh, that denouement... best ever. Peter Petrelli: now most incestuous character EVER. This kind of reminds me of those post - No Exit AUs where Jo was a Sekrit Winchester Bastard and Sam/Dean/Jo was a big thing, except, HAHA, this is CANON.

Oh, show. I almost forgive you for making Zach straight, that's how much I loved that.

On the actual content of the episode - I don't actually have much to say. I thought it was straightforward, I enjoyed it very much, that's about it. Although what with keymash's jdramas and Hiro, I swear I'm recognising a couple of words of Japanese. Like when they bow and say "please"? Heh.

I was so torn by that reveal. On the one hand it was "SO COOL, NATHAN IS HER FATHER," and on the other it was "Damn, now I really can't ship Claire and Peter together." I suppose I'll get over it eventually.

Although this is how stupid I am, I totally didn't get the connection until I was recapping the episode for my friend and she said, "So that means she and Peter are related!" and I was like, "I.... yes. He's her... uncle. Oh, DAMMIT." XD

(I need a Heroes icon!)

...well, why not? Especially after Peter was all "There was this sweet kid in Texas...she had such a sad little smile...I just need to remember how she made me feel." If they meant us to ignore the Petrellicest, they would not be shoving it in our faces so.

I don't know. The Peter/Nathan BroYay cracks my shit up (seriously, it is on record that they play it that way on purpose, right? if not, it should be) but I wasn't exactly going to ship them together or anything.

They are going out of their way to make the Petrellis the family with the most inappropriate chemistry EVER though, aren't they? I'm just going to enjoy it.

(Petrellicest. Hee.)

Have you heard the commentary on episode... 12, I think it was? Adrian Pasdar, I think it was, was saying "It was really brave of Milo to play Peter gay in the coma scene." And hello, they basically made out in that same scene, they're just laughing with us now.

[sennical.livejournal.com]

YES SO FUNNY. I think it was Sendhil Ramamurthy. The commentaries are fucking hysterical, I love them so much. Especially Greg Grunberg. (I still need to watch the one for this week though.)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen last week's. This week's was just so-so, it had its moments though.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

HAH, I just KNEW you wouldn't drop this. NO MORAL HIGHGROUND EVER FOR YOU.

I don't have a petrellicest icon, but here! have some wincest.

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

Look, if Tas isn't fleeing the ship, who am I to protest? And besides. I've never said Wincest was wrong, per se, just that I didn't see it and/or like it.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. SURE.

Truthfully, I am not all that convinced by it in S1 - I enjoyed it, I don't really see it in canon. But have you SEEN S2? Oh, wait, no. Okay, I am going to FORCE you to watch Playthings when I get home and THEN YOU WILL SEE.

SEE YOU TOMORROW OMG. :D

I was never really that into it because she's, you know, half his age!! Plus, I like Claire single. Of course, that's probably not going to happen either, mutter mutter grumble zack is STILL GAY IN MY HEAD, dammit.

XD LOOKIT PRETTY EDEN.

I think it's technically ten years? Which I am okay with. I don't know, I like the ship, I will find ways to make it okay. AUs are always nice.

Oh, Zach. The weird thing is that it's not like Thomas Dekker hasn't PLAYED GAY CHARACTERS BEFORE, or anything like that.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I don't really have a problem with it, it just wasn't my thing, but I see why a lot of people like it.

I KNOW. wtf. jerk.

[sennical.livejournal.com]

Each his own. :)

Some of what I heard what that it was mostly his manager flipping out about it, which... doesn't really make any more sense, really. And I still don't see how she didn't KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING. Whatever.

I watched a bit of Heroes with my dad the other night. Well, but watch I mean drew some characters from The Changeover on computer paper, but still. Anyways, I was drawing away, my dad's watching the screen, and I go "He just said 'I am a businessman.'" Apparently I was right, because my dad says incredulously "How did you know that!?"

<3 Japanese.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Hee, that's freaking awesome!

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

That was a pretty awesome reveal, especially following on the heels of Peter's longing reminiscings re: "that sweet kid in Texas". It would have been cooler if Claude was the daddy, since he's now a former HRG associate, but whatever. I can live with this. Bonus points if we get a "I have THREE younger brothers? NO FAIR!" scene from Claire. Or a custody showdown between Bennet and Nathan. (Speaking of which - I love the way they're turning the question of Bennet's first name into a full-blown comedy routine, i.e., cut-off sentences, the first name not being visible on his driver's license even if you freeze-frame and zoom in. This could be a beautiful and ongoing joke.)

I think my favourite plotline in this episode was Isaac, just because he's so eminently cute now he's gone all enthusiastic and world-saving. I hope we keep getting more of him. I liked both of Clare's mothers, too - Meredith was awesome, and Mrs. Bennet was sweet. The mindwiping scene was creepy.

Um, I read that as being intended to diffuse the sexual tension, because those are all childhood markers, and if he was really lusting after her in that scene it would be CREEPY and UGH. and UGH. and WRONG, and not in the incestuous social taboo way, in the WRONG WRONG WRONG way. (I mean, Claire is nearly 16, I don't have an intrinsic problem with Peter/Claire in that sense, but with those markers? creepy.)

way they're turning the question of Bennet's first name into a full-blown comedy routine, i.e., cut-off sentences, the first name not being visible on his driver's license even if you freeze-frame and zoom in.

I noticed that! It's frustrating. maybe his first name is... LINDEMAN. heh.

eeeeh. Isaac was okay. He's much better looking right now, that's for sure. I liked Meredith heaps and Mrs Bennet(t?) was really excellent in her scenes.

I have to be honest I had my suspicions about who Claire's father was but even still it was like OMG WHAT!!! .. WAIT I SUSPECTED THAT.

Hahaha.

I am such a dork. I read an article where the actor of Nathan alluded to him being the dad "subtly" except when Hero fans are around nothing is stubtle and after a few minutes of deconstruction it was quite obvious.

Seriously though .. Nathan + Peter and all the touching, hugging, words of innuendo and now this? .. It's BRILLIANT.

Seriously love this show every episode as it goes on.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Oh jeeze. How in the world? That was a complete bombshell for me. Link to the article?

nathan and peter basically made out in 12. COME ON.

I'm really digging it too! :D

Same here! I feel proud now whenever i hear Yatta in an anime and I know what it means. Between LOST and Heroes I am becoming quite the multi-linguist. Who says TV is uneducational?
